Book Reviews of Lacrosse For Dummies

Book Review: Great Box Lacrosse book
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is a great overview of the sport of box lacrosse. It does mention differences between box and field lacrosse and briefly discusses women's lacrosse as well. It's discussion on the equipment, positions, skills, and tactics of box lacrosse is it's strong point though. The Dummies title is misleading as there is plenty of information contained inside. Overall if your interested in learning more about box lacrosse it'd be hard to go wrong with this book.
